Chapter 6 Who's the Mainstream

The burning of the walled city by fire was as simple as two steps, pouring the oil into the Gulang River and lighting it......

Of course, it would be even better if you could add a little sealed powder keg to the water, design the length of the powder twist, and let it float into the walled city and then explode. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yang Huaiyu is very sensitive to gunpowder, and he is also sensitive to fierce fire oil, these years, he almost gave up the study of cold weapon warfare, and devoted himself to studying how to maximize the power of weapons such as gunpowder and fierce fire oil.

Therefore, when he found that there were oil flowers floating in the river, he was very vigilant, and when the dense wooden barrels went down the river, Yang Huaiyu did not hesitate to order to abandon the walled city.

With his understanding of Tie Xinyuan, this guy would never kindly send something to him, even if he did, it would be a fatal thing.

Originally, according to the regulations agreed between the two countries at the beginning of the war, the Hami Kingdom would be stationed in Gulang, and finally built a city with Xinglong Mountain as a camp.

The Great Song Dynasty was stationed in Qingcheng and Huizhou, and confronted the Hami Kingdom.

The city of Lanzhou will become an undefended city, becoming the most important trading city in the northwest, and the two countries will each establish tax inspection departments in Lanzhou, and the Great Song will collect taxes on goods from the southeast, and Hami will collect taxes on goods from the northwest.

This regulation was actually very beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, which was rich in the southeast and barren in the northwest, and the export of goods in the Great Song Dynasty was greater than the import.

The most important thing is that the Great Song Dynasty no longer has to station heavy troops in the northwest, and there is only a little bit of Tubo savages faced by the Hami State to block the Western Xia, Qinzhou, and Fengxiang, and the military pressure has been reduced by at least forty percent......

Only Fu Bi believes that Da Song should get more.

The Gulang River soon became a burning river, after tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder exploded in the river water, the small Gulang River was cut off in an instant, and the water in the river was either vaporized by gunpowder, or pushed into the air by the gunpowder waves, and finally turned into a downpour and then fell.

As for the seemingly majestic wooden walled city, after the explosion, it turned into a pile of ruins.

The city was gone, but the Hami army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, they still quietly camped by the Gulang River, picked up the bombed wood and began to bury the pot to make rice.

Fu Bi's Chinese army tent was not in the walled city, and after hearing the series of loud noises, he sighed deeply and sent spies to see if Yang Huaiyu was dead.

Yang Huaiyu naturally won't die, he is just defeated......

Although he has many ways to keep himself from defeat, such as setting up a barrage on the Gulang River, or diverting the Gulang River to the side, no matter how terrible the danger is, as long as it has been discovered, it is not so terrible under normal circumstances, and it can still be saved.

The defeat was an excuse he needed, and his wife in the capital wrote that the eldest son of the Tie family had now lived in a new mansion without a name, and as long as he was not a fool, he could see the shadow of the East Palace from this mansion close to the palace.

The location of the house was determined by the emperor, and the furnishings in the house were decorated by the queen herself, and even the maids and maids in the house were selected from the palace, and the most important point was that the king gradually became the chief manager of the house.

There is only a huge plaque on the lintel of that house, but there is not a word on the plaque, neither the two words of Iron Mansion nor the two words of East Palace, which makes people think about it.

When the army is out on the march, there is naturally not much to eat, Yang Huaiyu and his three thousand subordinates still eat very sweetly, and they do not have the consciousness of a defeated general.

If outsiders look at it, they can't see that just now, these two armies are still in a state of hostility.

The armor on Song Jun's body was still on them, as were the swords and spears, and even the gunpowder bullets were still hanging on the armor and clanging.

Huotou Jun didn't like the gunpowder bullet too close to his stove, and scolded Song Jun and told Song Jun that if he wanted to eat, he would throw the damn gunpowder bullet away.

As long as he is in the army, Tie Xinyuan must eat the same pot of rice as the soldiers, if there is a difference, there is only a little pitiful wild vegetables and pickles.

Yang Huaiyu's chopsticks stretched quickly, and after a while, the only little bitter herb was eaten by him.

The bitter herbs in early spring are not very easy to find, and the wild vegetables have not yet emerged, but Tie Xinyuan's personal soldiers dug up the thawed land, dug out the fat white stems and leaves that have grown in the soil, and then made them into fresh cold vegetables after blanching, Tie Xinyuan has always liked them.

After eating the last cold salad, Yang Huaiyu put down his chopsticks and said, "Speak, it's not my idea to stop you here, don't be angry at me." ”

Tie Xinyuan insisted on wiping his mouth after eating a big bowl of soup cakes and said: "In the future, my son will become the emperor, if you dare to communicate with foreign countries like this, I will definitely cut off your head." ”

Yang Huaiyu said with a smile: "Pat the horse's fart and pat the horse's hooves." ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said: "Under each of his masters, Fu Bi has done nothing wrong, although he is a little stupid, he is purer than you."

How did you find out that I had plans to stand here? ”

Yang Huaiyu shook his head and said: "I didn't find it at first, but later I saw that your military flag never appeared in front of the two armies, so I knew that you were ready to die."

I can't control your preparation, and I can't manage it, but I can't let my siblings become victims of your Liwei.

Isn't it enough to smash a walled city? ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "Without the loss of life, the memory will not be profound, and I will not be able to express my determination to not give in half a step." ”

Yang Huaiyu waved his hand angrily and said: "Forget it, you just talk about it, if the strategy during the day can be used at night, it can play a role in killing me, what is the use of the day?"

I don't know you yet, you can do this kind of death to the Tanguts, Khitans, Great Cannibals, Western Regions, and Persians, and for the Song people and the Han people, you are more sad than anyone else.

Don't you look at these stupid soldiers, who treat you as enemies, in order to eat, all the gunpowder bombs have been unloaded, they are all soldiers of a hundred battles, and the sensitivity to hostility is not what you can imagine, do you think that if you change an ethnic group, they will still be so careless? ”

Tie Xinyuan snorted coldly and said, "After eating my Hami grain for ten years, even if it is a pig, it will be raised." ”

Yang Huaiyu waved his hand magnificently and said, "Don't talk about these little things, what do you say we are going to enter the Kaluo River?" ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "My ambition is in the Hexi Corridor, Yinxia Erzhou, it depends on your ability."

At this time, even if I wanted to help, the Great Song Dynasty would not allow it, they would definitely worry about killing the Western Xia and the emergence of a more powerful Hami kingdom than the Western Xia.

Fu Bi's worries are very reasonable, basically representing the opinion of the Great Song Dynasty, Lao Yang, you also know that only having the narrow area of Liangzhou Mansion, the Great Song Dynasty can barely accept it, because this road is just surrounded by the Great Song army, as long as I don't garrison heavy troops here, the Great Song Dynasty will not pay too much attention to it.

They will approve of my argument that I will open up important transportation areas, and if the troops enter the Karogawa, it means that I will expand my territory to both sides, and they will not accept it.

You don't simply think that the Great Song Dynasty will connive at the bottomless Hami Kingdom, right? ”

"Of course not, no matter what, they are two countries, and the vigilance that should be there is still a need."

Tie Xinyuan took the wine jug from his own soldier and handed it to Yang Huaiyu and said, "Drink it, even if I see you off."

This is the end of the road for the Hami army, tell Fu Bi that the remaining 200 miles will be completed by the civil officials, the officials, and the patrol army, I will go back, if you can guarantee that you can continue to put pressure on the hidden Pang, I only plan to leave 3,000 cavalry on the side of Gulang. ”

Yang Huaiyu's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "You said that the safety of the Hexi Corridor is pinned on the Great Song army?" ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled and said, "It's very sweet, isn't it?" Have you already made a plan for me to stay in Hexi?

It's a pity, it's my son's business to plot the throne of the Great Song Dynasty, and I, who is the old man, will prepare a base for him, even if the child is defeated, he will have a family to come back. ”

"What are you going to do next?"

"Destroy that bullshit Blockade Kingdom, help you direct the attention of the Khitans to Hami, and give you a chance to destroy Western Xia."

"You're going to go into the clouds?"

"No, the clouds are too far away, and there are more than 100,000 troops stationed in your Yanmen Pass who dare not go out of the pass, why should I do this? There is no shortage of land in the country of Hami. ”

"Tell me the truth......"

"When you're full, go away, lest Fu Bi think that you have surrendered to Hami."

Yang Huaiyu's face was full of disappointment, he actually really hoped to be able to march towards Karochuan with Tie Xinyuan.

The well-fed Song army gathered together in twos and threes, and soon gathered into an army, the cavalry straddled the horses, and the whole team of foot soldiers bid farewell to the Hami army, took the jerky and butter fried noodles given by the Hami brothers, burped through the rotten walled city, and walked towards Lanzhou Mansion.

Huo Xian watched the Great Song army go away, and said to Tie Xinyuan, who also saw Yang Huaiyu leave: "That's fine, at least it doesn't take too much effort to fuse." ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "It's not that easy, it will take at least a few decades and a couple of generations before it's possible." ”

Huo Xian stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Are you so sure that Hami fuses the Great Song instead of the Great Song fuses Hami?"

Judging from the history books, as long as any foreign race merges with the Han nationality, it will eventually disappear, and there has never been an exception. “

"Hami is not an alien race!"

"Haha, twenty years, the old man will wait and see!"

"You can't see it!"

"The old man gritted his teeth and lived for another twenty years, if it wasn't for your mother who destroyed the old man's elixir, it would be possible for the old man to live for another hundred years."

"Hmph, my mother is saving your life, if it weren't for the destruction of that pill, I don't dare to imagine what the consequences would be after you swallowed a lead pill."

"Anyway, the pill is gone, you can say anything...... Then again, the old man really wants to live another fifty years. ”
